The Blossom Cup Cozy pattern calls for #4 worsted-weight yarn, and I’ve made this sleeve in so many different yarns and colors! For the featured photo, I used Blossom Cakes in a lovely pinkish hue for a Mother’s Day gift, and my mom absolutely loved it. I also used “I Love This Yarn” in the color Royal Gorge for a Christmas gift (see the picture above), and I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Pattern notes

  • This pattern is written in US terms.
  • This is an easy skill level project.
  • The cup cozy is crocheted from the bottom up in continuous rounds (spiral).
  • The stitch count at the end of each round is provided as the stitch count for that round.
  • The pattern is designed for a 16-oz cup. For different cup sizes or yarn weights, create a foundation chain in multiples of 6 + 3 that fits snugly around the bottom of your cup, then crochet to the desired height.
  • For a perfect fit—especially if your cup is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top—try the cozy on as you go. If it starts to feel too tight, switch to a larger hook for the rest of the pattern. The cup sleeve should gently hug the shape of your cup from top to bottom.
